The group was immediately stunned in place, Badasang’s face instantly flashed with excitement and ecstasy, he quickly and eagerly walked back, running after a few steps, and shouted loudly while running: "Did we really find a mine? Where is Miss Huo?" The pit was less than a meter deep, and a large number of raw ores were dug out from the riverbed. This vein was no different from the exposed jade mines; it was the first time the mining workers encountered such an easy digging task. Seeing these raw ores, a group of miners pointed at the stones, each face filled with excitement and exhilaration, looking at Huo Sining with eyes full of admiration. Badasang, upon running back and seeing the scene before him, was instantly dumbstruck on the spot. In front of him was a pit over a meter wide, besides gravel there was blackish river mud and sand, and the entire pit was filled with a strong river mud smell. Beneath the gravel and river mud, black stone materials were exposed, varying in size and positioned haphazardly, with no visible order. The mineral gambling experts who hurried up were also stunned, with a few old experts’ eyes faintly shimmering with wetness. These people were mineral gambling experts nurtured by the Bada Family’s gambling team, who understood with a glance what these stone materials meant. The connection of these stones could only mean one thing - that the jade mine Huo Sining spoke of was indeed dug up by them! The hard black rough stones in front of them were genuine jadeite rough stones, absolutely from an old mining area of Mogang jade! "General, we... really hit a big win!" A soldier next to him quietly whispered to Badasang. Badasang nodded vigorously, too excited to say a word. Indeed, just as Huo Sining said, this riverbed is located on the edge of a weathering belt, and the stones on the riverbed were formed by the compression during tectonic movements. Although they’ve only dug a small pit now, and the entire vein’s size and quality need further research to confirm, they have indeed found a jade mine. It’s like betting on an all-bet rough stone, cut into one piece, and green mist appears; if the jade inside is deep enough, you can hit a big win. These black rough stones remained buried in the riverbed for a long time, changing color, but once extracted and cleaned, they could quickly reveal the true face of the rough stones. Badasang was raised at the Wacheng Jade Trading Center, having learned from Master Zhuo for many years about stone gambling, and was naturally familiar with Mogang jade, so he could tell at a glance that these rough stones were from the old mining area. The rough stones’ skin was coarse, gray-yellow or gray-white, and although located on the weathering belt, they showed few cracks. Moreover, having been buried under sand and mud for tens of thousands of years, they were soaked by flowing water and became fully water-rich materials! Badasang had mined many jade mines in Mizhi, but such a pure Mogang jade mine was a first encounter. Mogang jade is a very rare rough stone, with a high chance of producing high jade quality, and the jadeite inside contains very few impurities with Glass Type bases being very common. However, the yield of rough stones from this mining area was very low; not to mention water stones, even mountain stones were rarely seen. Upon seeing these Mogang jade stones pulled out from the pit, Badasang’s heart raced uncontrollably. Just the performance of these few Mogang jade may already show Badasang that this vein’s quality is absolutely no less than any old pit veins he ever mined. Once these rough stones make their debut, they will surely drive the entire stone gambling community into a frenzy! Sure enough, shortly afterward, Huo Sining led a few soldiers and brought over a stone cutting machine. As the sand grinding wheel constantly scraped, the dug-up rough stones were opened up one by one before everyone by Huo Sining. Each piece revealed green just by cutting a thin slice of the stone skin. "Egg white type Yang Green!" "This piece is Ice type Luolan purple!" "And here’s a Glass type piece!" Find the newest release on n0velfire.net As the crowd exclaimed in shock and shouted joyously, everyone standing on the riverbank was excited. Just these few rough stones already valued in the tens of millions, and each piece cut was a big rise; how could these people not be excited? This was akin to the first all-bet rough stone gamble seeing imperial green; these few rough stones’ big rise inspired confidence among everyone present. Determining a jade mine’s quality only requires sampling, with the initially mined ones being the best samples, allowing the entire jade mine to be assessed based on sample performance. Now, on-site stone cutting by Huo Sining has made the best proof, and this large jade mine will surely exceed their expectations. "Give orders, divide into three routes: from mine head, tail, and the riverbed for excavation. Expand the pit into a tunnel, and have them immediately develop plans and strategies to strive for jade mining work in the shortest time." Badasang shouted with excitement. Since hitting on a jade mine, he no longer needed to be as cautious, and by investing lots of capital and manpower, intensifying the mining, he could soon pocket all these jade mines. "General, the protection in this area also needs to be strengthened." An old expert couldn’t help but remind. Currently, they had only sent 1,500 soldiers to defend, and they were temporarily mobilized. Now that a large vein was discovered here, such force was clearly insufficient. Especially since this river mine was not far from General Zadon’s manor, no one could assure if the general upon hearing the news would do something out of anger and frustration. "I know. I’ve already officially applied before, and the Bada Family will conduct a one-month survival exercise in the Miji Jungle. Then I will arrange for another 1,000 officers to enter this jungle, for a military exercise, of course, the harsher the conditions, the better!" Badasang laughed aloud towards the sky, with 2,500 officers and soldiers stationed, heavily guarded; he guaranteed not even a fly could sneak in. The success news of the vein quickly spread among the miners and soldiers, making everyone extremely excited. Myanmar’s warlords were divided into five major factions, each having its supporters; of course, more people joined the family forces for survival, just to get protection from the family. It’s this warlord-dominated condition in Myanmar that gave ordinary people a special sense of belonging. After joining the major forces, they hoped the family could grow stronger so they wouldn’t worry about suddenly losing protection one day.
